Today, Sakimiya-san was acting very strange.
Her hair was black instead of pink, and she was wearing a monochrome one-piece dress instead of pink.
I thought this was an unusual style for Sakimiya-san, who loves pink.
At first I thought she just had a makeover, but when I talked to her, I instantly noticed something strange about her appearance.
It didn’t look like Sakimiya-san,…… or rather like a different person, and no one around me noticed that Sakimiya-san was Sakimiya-san.
But I was the only one who noticed that …… Sakimiya-san is Sakimiya-san.
From the day after last week’s circle, Sakimiya-san stopped responding to me on lime, and she didn’t come to this week’s seminar either.
Yami san and Hinata were also worried about her, and Shimizu was also worried about Sakimiya san on lime.
I was worried that she might have caught the flu or some other epidemic disease that is hard to cure, but …… today, the moment I saw Sakimiya-san’s face like this, I was sincerely relieved.
However–
“– even though the real me is a mine girl!”
Sakimiya-san seemed to be pondering something.
She was in a painful darkness and seemed to have lost sight of her true self.
It seemed as if tears were about to spill from Sakimiya-san’s eyes at any moment.
How could I …… have been …… doing anything until Sakiamiya-san was in this state?
I am even angry at my own powerlessness to do anything but wait for contact.
If she was worried about something, I should have listened to her as her best friend.
At a time like this, what can I do for …… Sakimiya-san?
“Sakimiya-san. I don’t think there’s …… anything wrong with that.”
“Eh?”
“Everyone has stress in their lives, and they feel like complaining…It’s natural. Even I feel stressed sometimes.”
“Then ……”
“S-Sakimiya-san?
“Kazakiri-kun, aren’t you stressed out by me? Even though you actually think I’m a heavy and annoying woman!”
“That will never happen!!”
“…!”
I let out a loud voice out of reflex and stared intently at Sakimiya san’s face.
Sakimiya san is wrong.
I… how much do I care about Sakimiya san…
“I’m! I’ve never felt bad about being with Sakimiya-san! No matter how much Sakimiya san is mocking herself as a “mine girl,” to me she’s always been the confident, cool Sakimiya san who loves pink things and has a strong sense of self! I want you to continue to be the Sakimiya-san you’ve always been!”
I tried to convey what I wanted to convey all at once, but I forgot to take a breath and ended up raising my voice.
I continue while keeping my breathing steady.
“Even if what Sakimiya-san said earlier is true, she is venting her grievances behind the scenes on social networking sites, and that’s a good thing. If it were me, I would vent my grievances in front of someone.”
“……”
“If I say all this and Sakimiya san says self-deprecatingly that she’s a landmine girl, then I like Sakimiya-san, who is a landmine girl.”
I-I said it.
I said I like her……
“Kazakiri-kun……!”
Sakimiya san jumps into my chest as if to hide the tears that are falling.
Sakimiya san said ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry’ over and over again in my heart.
I didn’t know what to do because I had never done anything like this before, but I hugged her with both arms to calm her down for the time being.
Ever since I hugged her, I smelled so good from Sakimiya-san, and girls are so soft. ……
I’m ashamed that I can only think shady thoughts even at a time like this, but I thought …… this is me, Kazakiri Yuuya.
Crackle, crackle, crackle.
I don’t know about this, but there was applause from the students around us who were watching our fussing.
Oh no. I was talking without thinking about my surroundings. ……
I had to move.
“Hey, Sakimiya-san, why don’t we skip today?”
“Hee?”
“After this, let’s go to a store in Harajuku. Do you want to go shopping for new mine clothes with me? Can I get you a present again?”
“……Yeah……Yeah!”
I pulled away from Sakimiya-san and left the place, heading to the station in front of the university.
The wait for the train was a little awkward, but then Sakimiya-san said, “Thank you,” and began to speak.
“For a long time, I hated it when people made fun of the things I liked, and I hated it when people called me a landmine. But now I think it’s okay to be a mine girl. Because even though I’m a heavy, mine type, if Kazakiri-kun likes me, I’d like to remain a mine.”
“…That’s good. My feelings were conveyed.”

–Time flies and it is July.
It’s almost time for everyone in the travel circle to go on a trip, as the university is about to start its summer vacation.
“It’s time for me to start looking for a part-time job.”
I put my leather wallet in my pocket, which has become very light because of all the things I’ve had to do recently, and leave my room to go to the university.
Then–
“Ah, good morning, Kazakiri-kun”
Sakimiya-san was standing right next to the door of my room, waiting for me.
She is dressed in her usual mine fashion, wearing a pink blouse with a heart motif and a black jumper skirt.
Sakimiya-san’s mine fashion, I feel at home. …… hnn?
Sakimiya-san was holding a pink garbage bag in one hand.
“Are you going to take out that trash bag before you go?”
“Yes,……, perhaps Kazakiri-kun is interested in the contents of my trash?”
“I-I’m not concerned about it! Don’t say that like I have a weird hobby!”
“Fufu. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Okay, Sakimiya-san is smiling today, too.
Sakimiya-san moved into the room next to my apartment in July.
I was surprised at first, but now I feel happy.
It’s not every day that something so fateful happens by chance.
“Hey, Kazakiri-kun?”
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m a mine girl, but you’ll take good care of me even if I’m like that, right? Kazakiri-kun?”
“……o-of course! Sakimiya-san.”
When I was nice to the mine girl who was getting shunned in the seminar, she started sitting next to me,…… but on the contrary, she moved in next door to me.
I guess I’ve become a bit of a cheerful boy myself?
